spsnHyaaa.... It's been a long time ne...
I know I haven't been doing Aiba Manabu for the longest time because... I'm lazy plus being sick for the longest time didn't really help either, and plus I was flying around trying to do my job well, so less time to do Aiba Manabu because I want to watch lots of stuff and do lots of stuff too. BUT, this episode contains my favorite food item,TOFU! Plus, with Aiba-chan making it... hmm.. it's rather hard to resist. PLUS, they finally completed the shoyu project! I've been wondering about that shoyu for awhile as they didn't really show Aiba-chan shaking that shoyu bottle anymore, so I was happy to see that it's finally done and we can see what homemade shoyu looks like!
The shoyu is finally completed. Starting from January, our Aiba-chan has been shaking shoyu bottle for the past 6 months...
Recap, shoyu is made out of beans, salt and water. Hmm, simple ne...
So, they show us behind the scene that Aiba-chan has been shaking the bottle during roke shooting while the staff continue to shake the bottle in turns during Aiba-chan's absence, such dedication haha...
Now, let's make tofu.. I think they're referring how in Japan they have the carriage of tofu seller with the megaphone saying 'tofu' (according to Aiba-chan) but nobody really knows what the tofu seller is saying, actually...
I skip the introduction where they explain how to make tofu in mass production and in general, plus how Aiba-chan choose which beans to use to make their tofu. After taste test, they finally choose black beans. Black beans is apparently expensive, it can fetch to 100K Yen for 30kg... that's expensive!
In this episode, they switch back and forward between shoyu and tofu so that the shoot can finish within the day. I think this is the longest roke shooting that Aiba-chan been into for Aiba Manabu...
First, let's do the shoyu...
The staffs have prepared the DIY straining
Zoom in to the pretty face and hmm Aiba-chan has a rather hairy arms, huh? lol... all this while he consentrates in pouring the precious shoyu to the strainer...
Pretty side view, the nose! so straight...
Now they start the tofu making by traditionally grinding the beans. that stones are really heavy, and it's a lot of work
Still grinding, and they have the whole bucket of beans to grind lol
Aiba-chan looks so amused with this process, and Sawabe request to change lol, it's tiring, can't blame him
And now it's Aiba-chan's turn to grind and look pretty doing that, lol
then they boil the grinded beans and strain, and you get tonyu (soy milk) and okara (the excess)
this is okara, this is good stuff, do not throw this away...
Up until now, the whole process can be done easily with soy milk maker!
then, they need to boil the soy milk till 100C. So, while waiting for it, they cook the okara
Aiba-chan's face lit up with the 'let's eat okara'.
First the auntie hows the simplest way to eat okara. stir fry it with oil, and add mayo
Aiba-chan: That's it??
how about the taste?
off course it's delicious, practically everything with mayo is good stuff
I totally approve Aiba-chan having a second helping, the boy really need to eat, he's freaking skinny. Wearing t-shirt making him look super stick thin...
Now, the real stuff, they're making jelly fry. What is it made of? The main ingredients are okara and mashed potato, then we have carrots, onion, salt, pepper, cake flour and egg. I think they use potatoes to help bind the okara, elsE, it'll crumble when you fry them.
Jelly fry is a Saitama dish. Sawabe is from Saitama but this is the first time trying it, lol..
After trying, dip it into worchestaire sauce...
The oishii in union is so cute and funny
Aiba-chan clearly enjoyed this shooting
Moving back to our tofu making, after boiling the tonyu, then it needs to be cooled down to 70C
then it's time to add nigari (tofu coagulent). it's done 2 times. Uncle did the first one, stiring must be done straight away.
Aiba-chan did the second nigari addition, then after stirring it once, they let the tonyu sit until it crumbles.
WhilE waiting, they checked the shoyu, it's been nicely strained and the coloR is shoyu color. They're quite happy with this and they boil the soyu. I didn't catch the purpose of boiling it.
Then, we're back with the tofu. It's crumbling already and ready for scooping.
After you scoop the tofu, you need to pat it gently and get the excess water out.
Sawabe did the honor of the patting and in return Aiba-chan pats his head too lol
Then, the final step is to turn up side down to release the tofu from the mold, and the tofu is done!
Obligatory Aiba-chan's eating face hhe...
oishii, yes i totally agree on this one because I tasted this type of tofu when I was in Kyoto. The texture is not so silky, but the lavor is richer, yummy!!!
Aiba-chan is again taking second helping lol
Senryuu of the day: shoyu wants to travel in this world alone.
For the simpler homemade tofu, I found this blog that I think worth to try:

I guess it's time to further utilize my soya milk maker, hohoho...
